The Seoul School of Integrated Sciences and Technologies (aSSIST) has adopted blockchain as its MBA course subject.
South Korea’s blockchain project ICON Foundation will provide lectures to aSSIST MBA students on blockchain platform operations and application of blockchain technologies.
The MBA students will attend the 1.5-credit, two-week class next January. They will be able to learn how to design blockchain and cryptocurrencies and how to establish a business model, according to ICON Foundation executive Lee Jung-hun.
aSSIST and ICON Loop, a subsidiary of ICON Foundation, have signed a memorandum of understanding last May to open the class.
aSSIST is a graduate school offering master & Pd.D degrees in business administration since 2004. Its MBA students can acquire double degrees from partner business schools overseas. The partner schools include Aalto University in Finland, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and the Temple University Fox School.
